BRB Big Brake Kits - Brembo Front GT 6-Piston Big Brake Kit (380x34mm 2-Piece Drilled Rotors - Yellow)

Slowing down a heavy premium car like the C7 platform Audi A6 or A7 takes a lot of effort. This is even more of an issue if you have tuned the 3.0T supercharged V6 engine to make more power. The stock front brakes that come from the factory are fine for normal daily driving, but they get hot way too fast if you do high-speed highway stops or hard driving on backroads. Once those stock iron discs get overheated, your brake pedal goes soft, you get bad brake fade, and the car takes a scary distance to actually come to a stop.That is where this BRB Big Brake Kit comes in. This full Brembo GT front upgrade (Part Number: 1N1.9027A5) completely replaces the weak factory setup. The kit gives you massive 6-piston yellow calipers and heavy-duty 380x34mm two-piece cross-drilled floating rds. The moment you bolt these on, you get a solid, instant pedal bite and massive stopping power that won't fade out even after repeated hard stops.Brembo makes these big yellow calipers out of a single solid piece of high-strength aluminum alloy instead of bolting two separate halves together. This solid setup keeps the caliper from twisting or spreading apart when you stamp on the brakes at high speeds. Because the rotors are cross-drilled, all the hot gas, dust, and rainwater have an easy way to escape right away. This keeps the pads flat against the iron surface so you get max grip every single time you hit the pedal.

Features and Benefits

Solid Single-Piece Caliper Design

These bright yellow 6-piston calipers are cast as one solid block of aluminum. This stops the caliper body from flexing when you stomp on the brakes in an emergency, keeping your pedal feeling tight and direct.

Two-Piece Floating Rotors

The lightweight aluminum center part is separate from the outer iron brake ring. This floating setup lets the iron outer ring expand naturally when it gets super hot, which stops the disc warping and steering wheel shaking that kills regular factory rotors.

Drilled Holes for Heat Venting

The holes on the rotor face pull intense heat and pad dust away instantly. Keeping the braking surface clean and cool means you get the exact same stopping power on your last run as you did on the first one.

Proper Weather Seals for the Street

Unlike raw racing parts that you have to rebuild constantly, these come with rubber dust boots and tight pressure seals. They keep out road salt, dirt, and water so the internal pistons don't get ruined during winter or rainy weather.

Stainless Braided Hoses and Brackets

The kit comes with custom steel brackets that bolt right up to your Audi front spindles. You also get braided stainless steel lines that don't expand under pressure like the old factory rubber hoses do.

Vehicle Fitment Matrix

This front big brake kit is a direct bolt-on swap for these specific car models:
Year RangeVehicle MakeChassis ModelEngine Group
2012 – 2018AudiA6 (C7 / C7.5)3.0T V6 Supercharged / TDI (Front Axle Only)

Wheel Clearance Warning: Because these 380mm rotors are huge and the 6-piston calipers are wide, this kit will not fit inside standard 17-inch or 18-inch factory wheels. Even if you have stock 19-inch or 20-inch Audi wheels, the face of the caliper can hit the back of the wheel spokes. You will most likely need hub-centric wheel spacers or high-clearance aftermarket wheels to make everything clear safely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will putting these massive calipers on make my brake pedal feel soft?
No, it won't. People often worry that bigger calipers need too much fluid, making the pedal drop too low. Brembo sizes the internal pistons to match the exact fluid output of your factory Audi master cylinder. Your pedal will actually feel a lot firmer than before because the stainless steel lines stop any hose swelling.
Is this price for just one side or the whole front?
This part number covers the full front axle setup. You get both the left and right yellow 6-piston calipers, two pre-assembled 380mm cross-drilled rotors, a full set of street/track pads, the specific brackets for your Audi car model, and the braided lines.
Will my factory Audi 19-inch wheels fit over this kit?
It depends mostly on how the spokes are shaped. The 19-inch barrel usually has enough room for the 380mm rotor height, but the Brembo caliper sticks out quite a bit on the side. A lot of factory Audi wheels have straight spokes that will rub the caliper face. You should expect to use a hub-centric wheel spacer to push the wheel out a bit for proper clearance.
How do I break in these new pads and rotors?
To stop your new brakes from squealing or shaking, you need to bed them in right after installing. Take the car to an empty road. Do about 8 to 10 hard slowdowns from 60 mph down to 10 mph back-to-back. Press the pedal hard but do not let the tires slide or lock up. Never come to a full, dead stop while doing this. If you stop completely while the discs are glowing hot, the pads will leave a permanent mark on the iron, which causes a bad brake vibration later. After your last slowdown, drive for 10 minutes without touching the brakes so the air cools them down completely.
